However, semaglutide is only available through a doctor’s prescription. If you’re looking for some natural alternatives to semaglutide, you can try certain supplements like

berberine

,

vitamin D

,

probiotics

 (found in

Elo Smart Protein

),

cinnamon

, and

ALA

. 

These GLP-1 supplements have been found to regulate blood glucose levels, alleviate insulin resistance, reduce inflammatory markers, stimulate insulin release, reduce serum lipid concentration, and positively impact insulin sensitivity  [
